1991 W201 190E Coil Spring Mounting ISSUE ?

[JPMBfan]

Hello All!

I recently had a left front ball joint failure on my '91 190E 2.6. Ball joint came out of the lower A arm bracket. When I went to remove the rest of the ball joint for replacement I noticed that the related coil spring had part of the lower coil broken but was still held in place by the lower coil spring mount in the A arm bracket. Not a big deal to replace the coil spring but what I further noticed is that the upper mounting bracket had started to separate from the inner fender. I can not find this piece on any web searches and I am sure that it is replaceable by cutting out what is left of it, welding a new one in and replacing the coil spring. CAN ANYONE HELP ME LOCATE this Bracket.

BTW....the passenger (right) side is all good but I will replace that ball joint and both tie rods as well as the coil spring as the vehicle has 250,000 well earned miles on it and the rest of the vehicle and drive train is in very good condition.

Thanks in advance!
